Abstract: |
The present study aimed to investigate the seismic behavior of enclosed seawater walls, the buried site of which lies in liquefaction soil. An experimental specimen was manufactured and tested on the seismic table, and a numerical study was also modeled in the ABAQUS software based on the experimental outcomes. In both the experimental and numerical studies, a susceptible liquefaction layer around the root of the wall was considered due to the root lean soil leakage and large lateral pressure, and the soil behind the root caused the failure of the buried section. According to the results, the lateral movement significantly decreased due to the backing effect of this layer on the buried section of the wall. Furthermore, an active wedge was formed from the buried side to the back of the containment, and the braces were overwhelming due to the presence of the locks in the wedge and their movement along with the wedge. The displacement of the crown and foot of the wall decreased with the increased base acceleration and higher frequency of the entrance movement. |
